I became very interested in the idea of living in a small house and wondered about the pros and cons. In December of 2018 I had the opportunity to move into a 10 foot by 14 foot tiny house. It was void of running water and inside bathroom.
I moved in with my Great Pyrenees and Australian Shepherd which added to the experience. I do have access to a shower and water and it does have electric.
It has been quite the experience. I enjoy it but if I was looking at something permanent it would be at least 16 feet by 32 feet. I think that would be a very doable size.
I admit it isn’t for everyone. I wouldn’t recommend two large dogs either. It’s easy to heat and cool but just a little cramped at times. I haven’t regretted moving in. I am glad I did it.

That’s a great post! I’ve watched many shows on tiny houses and am not sure I could do it with all the stuff I’d have to give away! 😁 I probably have way too much stuff!! Haha!

Thanks! You definitely don’t have any room for many pics and Knick knacks.

A Cosy home. It’s becoming really popular here in South Africa.

That’s a great little home! I have an 8×12 shed I built with my husband, from the money my dad left me when he died. He was a carpenter. This was my first building project. He would have been proud. It was to be my writing office, but now it’s more often a guest room when friends or my older kids need a place to sleep.
Yes, 16×32 would be nicer. My ex built us a 24×32 house in Alaska’s wilderness in the 90s. My first 3 kids were born and it housed the five of us not too uncomfortably. I put hooks, nails, screws, and shelving everywhere, and we had a pull-down ladder to an attic for more storage.

It is great to talk to someone who knows what it is like. I lost both of my dogs to cancer and I don’t want a big house for just me. I cook outside the biggest part of the time and I am not in the house very often. I would love to hear more about your experience.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your dogs. I would be devastated. One of mine is part Aussie. She lives with one of my daughters now. I miss them both.
Ya know, maybe I should do a blog post of my shed, and one about my old house in Alaska. Thanks for the ideas. I haven’t blogged much lately, but perhaps time will permit more, as these ideas unfold.

And I haven’t forgotten about putting up a post to do with the office shed. Just a matter of getting the time. 🙂

I read your office shed post but it wouldn’t let me comment. I loved it. Great read. Your office shed is amazing. Very beautiful. You did a great job.

Oh no! It’s doing that “not letting people comment” thing again. I had that happen a few months ago without my permission. Will see if I can figure out how to fix it again.
